Taking time to see what's around us

So here we are in the Berkshires staying at a very secluded cottage on a lake community. We are a little far south in MA but it is lovely nonetheless. One great thing about kids is they force you to slow down and see the world around you instead of blowing through it.

Yesterday, we had a big day. We drove to Adams and biked the Ashuwillticook Trail - a rails to trails bike path. The boys did great and we had no crying. On the way home we stopped at the local butcher and picked up our duck dinner that he prepared for us - YUM!

Today, we hung out at our lake beach (cranberry pond). There were lots of small children there including 3.5 yr old twin boys and lots of girls for Tas and Chance. We were there all day, something we ordinarily wouldn't have done on a vacation. We swam, rode in one of the locals kayak and played on the beach. Tonight, we grilled and let the boys run around some to wear them out before bed.

Tomorrow, we'll head over to Great Barrington and BishBash Falls. The second night we were here, we went to my first boss Lou's house in Otis for a cookout. He is the nicest man and was a gracious host. The boys really enjoyed running around beautiful property.

Thank goodness for the iPhone. Keeps me (us) connected.
